ABULAFIA
Over 80 kinds of delicious mouthwatering pastries fresh from the taboon!!
SAID ABULAFIA "45 years ago we had a neighboor located next to our bakery called Rabbi Zalman who owned a shoe factory. The Rabbi was hurt to see the lines of Jews at the entrance of our bakery on the Jewish Passover and decided to give a tempting offer to my grandfather, the late Said (I'm named after him). The Rabbi asked my grandfather Said how much money did he earn on Passover and my grandfather replied that a week of work was the cost of an apartment in Jaffa (at that time). The Rabbi offered my grandfather that if he closes the bakery on Passover he will pay him back the money he would have made if the bakery were opened. My Grandpa agreed and that same week he closed the bakery, made renovations and enjoyed his freedom. Every year since, a week before Passover, Rabbi Zalman would come with the money and Grandpa would close during Passover. On the Sixth year, grandfather went to Rabbi Zalman (before the Rabbi came to pay him) and said to the Rabbi that his bakery recieved such a blessing the rest of the year due to the fact that they close on Passover so from now on he will close on Passover free of charge! Since then,we are continuing the tradition of my grandfather (Said died before I was born, unfortunately)."
Sambusaks and fresh salad
For dessert we feasted on the most delectable MALABI- creamy milk based pudding thickened with rice,flavored with vanilla and rose water,topped with sugary syrup coconut, and nuts.
